This Roasted Tomato Basil Soup is total comfort food! It will only take you less than 2 hours to prepare and cook this soup. Don’t wait another minute not knowing how delicious this is. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 c chicken stock

2/3 c heavy cream

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced

1 yellow onion, diced

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 28-ounce can of San Marzano tomatoes crushed

9 Roma tomatoes, sliced lengthwise

1 c basil, fresh, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.

Arrange the tomatoes to the bottom of a baking sheet, then cover them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tomatoes for about an hour.

Remove the tomatoes from the oven and set them aside.

Place a large pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt. Put in the onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until soft.

Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute or just until aromatic. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme to taste.

Add sugar, basil, and crushed tomatoes. Cover the pot, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
